From what I understand Verizon's model will work on the AT&T network, but will not be LTE-friendly on AT&T.

And I have been keeping tabs...I've been waiting for the Apple store to carry the unlocked GSM iPhone 5, but due to shortage, nothing's in stock. Also, a friend of mine bought the AT&T iPhone 5 from the Apple store at full price, no contract, then bought an unlock on eBay and it's good. The stores in my area will not allow a purchase without a contract, so YMMV, plus they pull your credit as IF you're signing a contract. Eww.

Truthfully...I'd wait for the unlocked version to hit the store if you are still unsure.

Okay, so I have had it for exactly 10 days, and my battery life is awful. Could it have something to do with LTE/4G?

Definitely the LTE. If you're paying extra for it like in the States, use it. But until they improve battery life on this (and every phone with LTE capability), it just seems like an easier way to go over on data. HSPA+ is decently fast for most tasks IMO.

Bri, I'd encourage you to give Android another try to be honest, at least if the latest version of the OS was capped at 2.4. Jellybean is so much better in terms of user interface and overall user experience. Can't say you won't like the iPhone though as a lot of people find it satisfying and I sure do love my iPad.

Well...yes. I haven't been to the land beyond Gingerbread, and from what I've been told, it's pretty awesome. I have also played around with the S3 and while the phone is a wee too bit for my loking, I like how much smoother ICS is, and Jelly Bean...man, that's appealing.

I am still headed the iOS way but rest assured if I find iOS to be too restrictive (I've already resigned to losing Android customization), I'll sell the thing and get an S3 or Nexus 4. 5's have incredible resale value anyhoo.
